I'd be happy with a decent kit in 1/72nd scale.  It's ridiculous when you think that one of the most important VVS bombers does not even have an accurate model in 1/72nd scale.  I have a Zvezda kit and a Revell kit I may attempt to kitbash into a reasonably accurate Il-4, but I shouldn't have to do that.

And it's even worse for the DB-3!

That is a nice one, Massimo!  At the risk of restating the obvious, if only we had a nice 1/72nd scale model of the Il-4 (DB-3F, DB-3) to paint this on!  Maybe someday the model manufacturers will take time out from their F/A-18's and Bf-109E's to grace us with one.

Let's hope so... maybe ICM, but they are already late of years with their releases.

Again, a very interesting camouflage, and again, I wish there were a decent kit to apply it to.

I wonder if it's possible to suggest it to Amodel, aside the Il-4, R-10, UT-1 and 2  and other widely used planes, instead of devolving their efforts in unknown prototypes as the unuseful Yak-6M, sold into two boxes as if it was operative.

Now that is nice!  If I ever get around to kitbashing my semi-accurate Il-4 (from the Revell and Zvezda kits), I may just have to paint it in this scheme.

I like that one. Cheesy
I've got some discussion which is responsible for the international customer service of Xuntong and told him how the world is waiting for an Il-4!

Good, Michel!  Maybe they'll come out with some in 1/72nd scale and 1/48th scale.  And both versions of course - the DB-3 and the DB-3F (Il-4).

The guy from Xuntong was surprised when I mentioned of the interest for the Il-4 and he would pass this trough to management.
So fingers crossed. Cheesy
